First Time

This study presents the results of testing the hypothesis that girls during the period of normally proceeding puberty experience much more emotional discomfort, difficulties in communication and self-acceptance due to more pronounced hormonal and bodily changes than normally developing boys. Along with this, for the first time, results are presented that indicate some similarity of adaptive responses in boys with normal puberty and in girls with primary estrogen deficiency on the background of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The development of girls with 450-gonadal dysgenesis (with Turner syndrome) on the background of HRT is considered as adaptive to the tasks of age, less than their passport data. Girls with XY-sex reversion with gonadal dysgenesis are assessed as sufficiently adapted due to certain personal and age characteristics.

Transdermal Estrogen

Menopause is a key point moment in the specific aging process of women. It represents a universal evolution in life. Its initiation is defined by a 12-month amenorrhea following the ultimate menstrual period. It encompasses a series of different biologic and physiologic characteristics. This period of life appears to spot a decline in a series of skin functional performances initiating tissue atrophy, withering, and slackness. Any part of the skin is possibly altered, including the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, and hair follicles. Hormone replacement therapy (oral and nonoral) and transdermal estrogen therapy represent possible specific managements for women engaged in the climacteric phase. All the current reports indicate that chronologic aging, climacteric estrogen deficiency, and adequate hormone therapy exert profound effects on various parts of the skin.
